Notebooks for Mac/PC expiry notification

Staring April 1st, Notebooks for Mac/PC beta 15 will show an expiry notification. Feel free to click OK and continue using it without any restriction. – We are just wrapping up and finalizing the official version 1.0, so it should be a matter of a few days. – We’ll keep you posted.

we will provide that for PDF documents, but for other document types I am afraid we won’t have a solution soon. The reason is that we are trying hard to stick with standard document formats, and as soon as we start adding annotations to a text document, we need to introduce something “proprietary”…

– to convert a single document, select “Process > Create eBook” from the action menu
– to create an eBook from multiple documents, select them in the list and the pick Create eBook
– finally, to convert a whole book and all of its contents, select “Process > Create eBook” from the book’s action menu

We’re in in trouble: we just found out that Notebooks refuses to launch on Mac OS 10.7 and 10.8. This means that an estimated 50% of our potential users would be unable to launch Notebooks if we released it as it is… That risk is too high, and we hope that the other 50% of our customers understand that we need to fix this issue first. We hope it is just a matter of a few days…

Can’t wait to buy it, but one thing troubles me. As a power user, I will indeed want to put everything into notebooks. It’s truly the best solution available.

However, being limited to WEBDAV or Cloud sync will seriously degrade my, and other corporate and government users. We aren’t allowed to use a public cloud or WEBDAV server for sync. The chances of some sensitive information escaping is too much of a risk.

In their dash to the cloud, many app developers are simply abandoning this large group of users, forcing them to choose among the few (and mostly inferior) alternatives, or to simply do without.

So the question is will there ever be a WiFi-only sync capability between my Mac and my IOS devices?

unfortunately you’ll have to wait another few days until you can buy Notebooks (see my previous comment…)

Regarding local sync capabilities, I may have good news for you: we are preparing a little Mac app which basically is a WebDAV server, but one that runs on your Mac on your WiFi. So with the sync capabilities already built into Notebooks on iPad and iPhone, you will be able to sync with a local folder on your Mac. – We want to push this a bit further and are trying to integrate this server into Notebooks for Mac.
